On Yom Kippur itself it is said 8 times: [in parentheses I have placed the page numbers from the Artscroll Machzor Zichron Yosef]

  1. In the amida for ma'ariv (94)
  2. Slichot after the amida in ma'ariv (132)
  3. Silent shacharit amida (360)
  4. Chazarat hashatz for shacharit (422)
  5. Silent musaf amida (496)
  6. Chazarat hashatz for musaf (600)
  7. Silent mincha amida (660)
  8. Chazarat hashatz for mincha (686)

In ne'ilah we only say the Ashamnu list twice, not the al cheit section.

Note it is also recited by the congregation on Erev Yom Kippur in the silent amida of mincha.

If I missed any, I hope someone adds to this. Note, I included all the times when al cheit could be said by a member of the congregation. I wasn't sure if the question wanted to know all the times al cheit is said by the congregation as a congregation, or all the times when someone in the congregation would say the litany.
